“The so-called Fourth Council of Carthage (anno 396) prescribes a form for the ordination of exorcists the same in substance as that given in the Roman Pontifical, and used at this day.”—Addis and Arnold, Catholic Dictionary, art. “Exorcism.” London, 1903.
A man who was said to have been possessed by seven devils was exorcised by seven clergymen at the Temple Church, Bristol, in 1788.—Tylor, Primitive Culture, ii. p. 128. See also L. A. Maury, La Magie, p. 331.
